About Aishite Knight

Aishite Knight (愛してナイト) arrives as a comedy anime by Toei Animation (1983), and the premise is easy to summarize. In short: Yaeko Mitamura is an 18 year old girl working in her father's Okonomiyaki restaurant. One day Yakko casually crosses paths with a little boy, Hashizo and his odd cat Juliano.

Another thread: Hashizo has lost both parents when still a baby and has been brought up by his elder brother. Hashizo's brother Go Kato is the lead singer of the emerging rock band "Bee Hive". When Yakko meets Go and his friend and "Bee Hive" member Satomi Okawa an unexpected series of events unfolds.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Yaeko Mitamura (Mitsuko Horie) and Gou Katou (Isao Sasaki) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 42 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
